“For this young ‘peace evangelist’ and activist, Jesus’ message is good news for our world at war and on the brink of an ecological crisis. “Despite how it sounds when you step into many churches, biblically, the gospel isn’t fire insurance for the afterlife but rather the invitation let God’s Spirit transform us to take part God’s nonviolent transformation of everything. This is what Jesus meant and embodied with the message of the ‘kingdom of God’ and I really believe this is good news.” “

I’ve just come from another interview with a radio station (this time RTR FM) about receiving the Donald Groom Peace Fellowship. It’s Amazing the openness and interest around how Christ’s message is good news to a world at war and in an ecological crisis. Some have asked for links to recent press here are a few for those interested:
